On the festival which is filled with joy, fun and many colours, don't let harmful chemicals and the strong bhang mar the celebrations. Make it a memorable festival by playing safe this year. We tell you how...

Wear sunscreen: Before venturing out for the battle of colours, apply sunscreen. Not only it will protect you from the harsh sun, but it will also shield your skin from getting dry due to the powdered colour.Photo credit: AFP

Use organic colours: Organic colours that are made of flowers are harmless for your skin. Opt for natural homemade colours. Do not buy colours from the street vendors as they are made of 100% chemicals.Photo credit: AFP

Wear a bandana or a cap: It becomes difficult to wash off the colour from your hair after you are done playing. Protect your hair from the damaging colours by wearing a cap or a bandana.Photo credit: AFP

Say no to water-balloons: There is threat of losing your vision if a water-balloon accidentally hits your eye. Avoid using water-balloons this year to save water as well as to protect your eyes.

Followed these rules? Now you are good to go! Wish you a colourful and happy holi! Play safe.Photo credit: AFP
